Season tickets for tu starting at $199 for the 2015 football season. They are available for purchase at the orange/white scrimmage today. Wonder if that includes popcorn and a drink for the clown show?

It'll be cheaper to wait and buy them individually on stub hub

There is not a compelling and interesting game on their home schedule. Better things to do with $199 and better things to do with my time.
Ask yourself, "What's the SEC game of the week this week?" Problem solved!

By at least $198.00.

That might be tricky this year depending on the logistics of their new rules on resale. The restrictions might mean that instead of a bunch of cheap tickets, there might just be even more empty seats than usual.

What rule is this you speak of?

Wouldn't be surprised if their stadium is 2/3rds empty when the 4th qtr begins at the Cal game.

The sip AD has put some sort of restrictions on resale of individual game season tickets. Don't remember exactly but I want to say that if the season ticket holder tries to sell too many unused tickets the sip AD will cancel all their tickets for the rest of the season. They are trying to force the occasional fan to buy single game tickets from the AD and also prevent season ticket holders from major discounting of unneeded tickets. Additional abuse of sip season ticket holders.

Taco Bell will up their game by loss 2 and offer a free ticket with the purchase of a crunchy taco.

So are they going to call roll every game just to make sure everybody is in their proper seat. Geeze talk about free market economics, that's a sure fire way to get people behind the AD.

StubHub is the preferred re-seller for tu athletics and StubHub has agreed to provide the info on those season ticket owners who sell some of their tickets. Those will be matched against Longhorn Foundation records for current donation levels. If they haven't given enough to "earn" the right to resell, they forfeit their seats.

All of the renewals had the option to remain at current donation donation levels and acknowledge the re-sale prohibition ("grandfathered" for the 2015 season.) Or they can pony up the new required donation and be allowed to re-sell.

I expect to see many state employee appreciation ticket deals this coming year.

Just got transferred to Austin last month and was perusing their home schedule for a team building outing. Ridiculous home schedule with no attractive options. Now, I'm looking at the Roundrock Express schedule instead.

Do that. Dell Diamond is a great experience and very family friendly. (Traffic sucks though.)

Take 45 to A. W. Grimes to 79. Much faster. Avoid the 35/620/79 interchange like the plague.

I live on Lake Travis right on 620. I may be screwed in any direction!

Can't help you on 620, but once you get up to 183, just hop on 45. Shoot over to grimes exit (past 35), and head north up to Dell Diamond area. Do not under any circumstances attempt the fly over from 45 to 35.

Another option is to go a little bit further on 45 and take the red bud lane exit, then when you get to 79, turn back west and have a right turn into the Dell Diamond parking lot. I can't speak to how bad traffic on Red Bud is around rush hour though.

Going to paraphrase since it's $$$ content but Chip Brown says he has sources that say season ticket renewals are down 21% from last year. This is the lowest total of season ticket renewals since 1998. So I guess Steve got his wish to clear out the riff raff. Now he can replace us with all those new corporate clients he's planning to generate out of thin air.

No pressure Coach Strong.

That bears repeating. After the years of Akers/McWilliams/Mackovic the nadir was reached.

Four years of Mack-post Bama and one of Strong and they are right back in the same place, only with a bigger stadium.

The state has seen a lot of layoffs recently. Since you cut fat before meat I wonder how many newly unemployed sips just don't have the money now?

Funny, I missed where Austin's unemployment rate skyrocketed.

Just shocking that Texas would use a marketing strategy to put a limited number of the worst seats for sale at a discount to entice new fans to watch a game.

I wonder if A&M does the same thing?

You know before you make silly statements to demonstrate you aggie love to the faithful, you may want to spend some time on your own message boards and read about the number of your fellow aggies in the oil and gas and related fields who are struggling right now with all the layoffs. It's not pretty.

And didn't I just read that a major Houston company just shut its branch in the BCS area?

A&M doesn't try to track me down if I sell some of my tickets in order to force me to eat the money for unwanted game tickets. Kinda like our conference not having a buy-out if a team chose to leave. It seems like trying to force people and their money to stay locked-in is a sip and BDF problem.

No need to, we are sold out. My 5 po man seats cost almost 5 bills each and there was a rush 1+ years ago to get those.

Okay, sport. A 21% decline in renewals is all due to the O&G industry and only the O&G industry.

Really bad time to be trying to raise money for a new basketball arena, too, then.

Pooor sips.

Because, you know, none of A&M's money comes from oil and gas. That only affected sips. /s

Believe me, I'm not happy about the policy either. Just received our renewal notice for basketball and the same policy applies to those of us grandfathered.

But I thought A&M did away with grandfathered amounts for football when new Kyle opened in '14?

So, after not renewing by the deadline, I finally got a call last Friday from my ticket concierge dude, or whatever the hell they call him, and during his plead for me to renew, I got some insight into Bellmont's mentality under Patterson. When I brought up the suck that is Jet Pack Guy, Club Texas, Godzillatron, DJ etc., he told me that those items and similar "mini-shows" throughout the game were necessary, as "not everyone who goes to the games likes football and we strive to provide all patrons with some form of entertainment." I couldn't believe that he actually said that, even though it's pretty obvious this is how Patterson feels. That was the final straw for me, why the $#@! are we catering to idiots who go to Texas Football games and don't like Texas Football!!!
